Colts Week 2 unofficial depth chart signals a nuanced path to fantasy upside. The QB plan centers on Jones starting a few series before Richardson takes over in the first half, preserving Richardson’s ceiling while managing exposure. Receiver pairs Pittman Jr. and Downs anchor the pass game alongside Downs and Pierce, with Dulin and other depth weapons trailing. The backfield features Jonathan Taylor as the clear top option, with a sizeable committee behind him and a note on Herbert’s role that could shift depending on Week 1 usage. Mallory and Woods are both in the mix for the final tight end spot, with Mallory showing steadiness. The O-line mix at center (Pinter vs Bortolini) and at swing tackle (Freeland vs Travis) bears watching. On defense, Buckner and Paye anchor the line, Tuimoloau pressing for a bigger role, while the secondary has notable injury concerns with Ward, Brents, and Moore out to varying degrees. Special teams should see Shrader push for more FG opportunities against GB, with Sanchez handling kick duties. In short, the Colts present a high-ceiling QB option in Richardson, a potentially productive early-season passing attack, a run-heavy effort behind a strong line, and a defense with ascent opportunities as the season unfolds.
